Well, I sure did not see this coming. LEGO has been turning out many Star Wars play sets that immortalized iconic scenes. The most recent set, Betrayal at Cloud City, will not be the last. I am expecting more iconic scenes from the Star Wars movies getting the LEGO treatment down the road, but I never dream that Darth Vader’s Castle will be it. That’s right, folks. Darth Vader’s Castle is finally getting LEGO-lized and it will be an Amazon-exclusive. Continue reading We Did Not See LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader’s Castle Coming, But It Is

Why 3D-Print A Darth Vader Bust When Papercraft Will Do Too?
Indeed. The Darth Vader and Stormtrooper you see here are not 3D-printed like one would have expected. Believe it or not, they are made entirely of paper in an extremely cool low-poly style as some 3D-printed versions have to offer. Super cool, right? Perfect acquisition for those who don’t have the budget for Hot Toys and equivalent-grade bust. Continue reading Why 3D-Print A Darth Vader Bust When Papercraft Will Do Too?
Let You Pooch Into The Dark Side With This Darth Vader Dog Bowl
If you have already gotten your small canine or feline friend to the Dark Side with the Death Star Pet Cave, then it is only fitting that your furry four-legged pal gets to eat from the Star Wars Darth Vader Stainless Steel Dog Bowl. No, it is not of Darth Helmet, that would be blasphemous. You don’t eat from your boss’ head, do you? While it may not be the overused Sith Lord’s helmet, it is still highly recognizable as the supreme commander of the Imperial force – thanks to the foreboding Dark Side armor, featuring the iconic chest box buttons (but not lighted, unfortunately).

Concept TIE-X Fighter Makes TIE Fighter Looks Truly Very Alien-ish
While many car designers work on outrageous car designs they couldn’t present to the board in the real-world, one Canadian automotive designer, Jason Battersby, who makes a living designing automobile for Audi, choose to take on the sci-fi route during his free time. Instead of turning out concepts that stays on the ground, Jason has came up with a brilliant iteration of Darth Vader’s secret advanced TIE Fighter which he calls TIE-X. Jason’s vision is a fictional in two folds: first, it is a spacecraft and second, it is a spacecraft to the theme of a hugely successful sci-fi franchise, Star Wars. I am not sure the original creator of Star Wars, George Lucas’ opinion on this, but for me, I have mixed feelings about this radical even by sci-fi standard design.

Tomica Darth Vader Semi Is The Father Of All Star Cars Because Why Not?
Star Wars has absolutely no relation to automotive, but that didn’t stop companies from trying to associate with one of the century’s greatest sci-fi movie franchise. Automakers have already churned out Star Wars-themed Dodge vehicles, a Fiat 500E, and even an over-the-top C5 Corvette-based Darth Vader Car, and so it is not a surprised to find Star Wars-themed die-cast cars too, which Takara Tomy’s Tomica line has been turning out for quite sometime now. Speaking of Tomica, if you have those adorable Star Wars die-cast cars, dubbed Star Cars, then you would probably want this father of all Star Cars, the Star Wars Star Cars Darth Vader Car Carrier.

Darth Vader USB Car Charger: Luke, Your Father Is Now A Charging Device
What happens when the Death Star is blown to bits? Well, anyone that survives will be out of job and the same goes to Darth Vader – if he didn’t die. In fact, not only did he not die, he managed to find himself in more useful situations, such as help make bread crispy toasty, keep your room humidified, dries your hair, and now, the Lord Sith can even charge your smartphone and tablet as you travel in your vehicle – thanks to his incarnation as the Star Wars Darth Vader USB Car Charger. Like the R2-D2 variety, this USB car charger is designed to fit inside your vehicle’s cupholder and hooks up 12V power adapter aka cigarette lighter socket found in your automobile. Continue reading Darth Vader USB Car Charger: Luke, Your Father Is Now A Charging Device
Darth Vader Melted Helmet: The Dark Side Will Make You $3,500 Poorer
Darth Vader has no part to play in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but damn, this Sith Lord simply can’t rest in peace and his spirit still lingers in the seventh Star Wars movie, or at least, he is to Kylo Ren, who holds him in high regard. Darth Vader didn’t appear in the movie though; his pretty much thrashed helmet did (remember, his corpse was put through the burning funeral pyre?) when Kylo supposedly talked to the melted helmet, asking his grandfather to show him the power of the darkness, so he, Kylo, can “finish what he started.” Anywho, if you think that melted helmet is iconic enough, then here’s the good news: Star Wars Collectibles is offering a replica of the Darth Vader melted helmet. And mind you, this is not just any replica. Continue reading Darth Vader Melted Helmet: The Dark Side Will Make You $3,500 Poorer
This Darth Vader Is Fuming Mad, Dispenses Mist To Humidify Your Room
When the Dark Sith is fuming mad, he just used his Force to choke whoever that ticks him off, but not to worry, the ’he’ you see here won’t do the same to you mostly because it is only a helmet and also because ‘he’ is a Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier. And did we mention that ‘he’ probably find the lack of humidity in your room… disturbing and hence, ’his’ only job here is to keep your room from being dry by dispensing gentle soothing mist. It is whisper quiet too, so you won’t be haunted by loud heaving feared by so many. Continue reading This Darth Vader Is Fuming Mad, Dispenses Mist To Humidify Your Room
